Can't you see your morals
are venom to my veins?
Can't you feel your words
sinking their fangs into my skin?
Why can't you see through my lies?
I offer them with tear filled eyes.
I feel so transparent beneath your scrutiny,
You know me more than I know me.
So you ought to know that
you're twisting a dagger in my heart.
When I finally tell the truth -
you shoot it down without a second thought.
Don't waste all your bullets on my words,
since, apparently, you'll need to save one for me.
Go ahead and pull the damn trigger,
empty the hot metal into my soul.
Obviously you don't care
that I'm not invincible.
I'm not lying, I'm not lying,
I don't want to harm you.
So please stop killing me.
Author notes
God damnit, why won't you stop hurting me? Why do you talk to me if I piss you off so much? You say I hurt you, you hurt me ALL THE TIME. One minute we're friends, and the next you.... *sigh* Yes, I'm pissed off. Comment please.

An ex of mine that had been one of my best friends. After we broke up for the first time, we had a very rocky relationship back and forth, until around this recent January. But he's the kind of person who thinks his opinion is the only opinion worth paying attention to, and if you disagree with him, he gets pissy and acts like he doesn't care about me anymore, and doesn't listen to what I'm saying. Well, anyway, we had a huge falling out because he's a jealous prat and I'm tired of him making demands of me.

Ohh, what's this about? "Don't waste all your bullets on my words" --sad.
